About this property
Nestled within Encino's coveted Royal Oaks neighborhood, this single-story Mid-Century home is situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within a 24-hour guard-patrolled enclave. You enter the property through a long private driveway and immediately notice the scale of over half an acre of predominantly flat and lush grounds. The entire residence has been completely upgraded, while keeping its incredible charm and style. The home offers jetliner views of the valley and San Gabriel mountains from the expansive yard and from several areas inside the home, which include five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a den/sitting room. In addition, the sprawling lot has a generous courtyard with abundant parking and a two-car garage. Surrounded by mature trees and landscaping, the resort-like estate offers exceptional tranquility, while providing remarkably quick access to Ventura Boulevard and the 405 Freeway. Properties of this caliber rarely become available in the Royal Oaks neighborhood -- don't miss this opportunity!
